Abstract
Systems, and methods for notifying an occupant of a determined cause for a deviation in a highly automated vehicle are described herein. The vehicle can detect a plurality of objects located in an external environment of the vehicle. The vehicle can determine a deviation from a current path of travel. The vehicle can follow a modified path of travel based on the determined deviation. The vehicle can determine a cause for the deviation by generating a simulation of the vehicle traveling along the current path of travel. The simulation may not include a first detected object of the plurality of detected objects. The vehicle can determine, using the generated simulation, whether the first detected object was the cause for the determined deviation. Responsive to determining that the first detected object was the cause for the determined deviation, the vehicle can notify an occupant of the cause for the determined deviation.
